A few months ago I ordered a Peak C-5 which I have used several times and am very happy with. After spraying, I always clean and lube my guns. Today I broke it down a step further and removed the nozzle to clean it because i noticed the gun trailing a bit. I used the tiny wrench supplied with the gun and it came out with no problem, and then I saw it. The nozzle was almost split in half in the threads. A thread went completely through the side wall of the nozzle, I imagine during the machining process due to how thin the part is. Anyway, I proceeded to clean the gun and very carefully started to screw the nozzle back in when it broke off with half the threads inside the gun body. So I came to your store where I had originally purchased the C-5, but can no longer find anything but Mojo/Moflo parts (both of which I hope to wield some day). My only option is Bear Air, where this part is $15 + 12.06 s/h. My only issue here is that this is clearly a defective part and should never have been in the gun. I have never dropped my brushes, and they are very well maintained and cared for. Is there anything we can do about this? I'm not trying to avoid replacing a part. I have replaced many parts over time on other guns, its just the way it is. I just know this situation could have been avoided and I'm sure was just overlooked during manufacturing. I greatly appreciate any help and info you can give me with this. Happy Holidays.
